HIV Arrests No Longer Felonies | Harrisburg News
Description
Governor Shapiro just signed a major new law, Senate Bill 45, that drops felony charges for HIV-positive individuals arrested for prostitution — a move critics say was rooted in outdated fear. The bill, part of a broader human trafficking initiative, doesn’t apply to those already incarcerated, but signals a shift toward reducing stigma. Alongside this, the governor signed a flurry of other bills: job access, safety, consumer protection, veteran support, National Guard recruitment, and roadside assistance upgrades — plus land deals for shuttered Penn State campuses and Game Commission properties. A lot of progress packed into one week.
